Identifying the Challenge
Choose one of the following major criminal justice areas: law enforcement, prisons/corrections, the courts, Homeland Security, private security, or emergency management. Next, identify a challenge or area of improvement within your chosen area. (For example, one may choose corrections as the topic area and violence in prisons as the problem). – Outline the context of the problem or challenge, including the history and any policy decisions that have contributed to the situation. – Why is it important that the problem is addressed? – Who is impacted internally and externally? – Why do you feel the problem hasn’t already been solved?
